   PREMIUM DESIGN SYSTEM  ·  "Institutional / Choate-inspired"
   Loaded AFTER main.css + school-theme.css so it wins.
   Re-maps the design tokens to a navy / gold / cream palette,
   introduces a serif display face for headings, and refines
   navigation, hero, cards, buttons, section rhythm & motion.
   Original code & branding — no reference assets used.
